Student Organizations

The Davis College has over 25 student organizations and clubs that students can participate in. Through involvement in student organizations, students can further develop their academic and career interests while gaining worthwhile experience in their field outside of the classroom. Not only do members form lasting friendships with other students and faculty in an informal setting, but often their experiences can lead to career opportunities and industry contacts. Listed below are clubs and organizations associated with the Division of Plant and Soil Sciences.
